BEST PLACES TO BE BORN; AND RETIRE

Spain: Number 28

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has attempted to measure "which country will provide the best opportunities for a healthy, safe and prosperous life" in 2013 and the years ahead.

The top countries all have small populations, and a relatively small gap between rich and poor: Switzerland, Australia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark...

"According to new research, retired couples can live on a budget of less than $1,000 (£612) a month if they are willing to look overseas.

"With over 40.3 million people aged 65 and older in the U.S. and over 10 million people in the UK, some of the options across the world may seem more preferable than the rising retirement costs at home."

"As the NATO alliance inches closer to a military attack on Syria, a new front in the destabilization of the Damascus government has been opened by the intelligence agencies of the Western powers. The vehicle chosen by the CIA and its allies for this new assault is once again the shadowy limited hangout operation calling itself Wikileaks, and its chief spokesman, the Australian Julian Assange,"

RT promotes psy ops, fake protest movements and intelligence assets. This reveals that Russia's External Intelligence Service (SVR) collaborates with the CIA to advance the NWO. The KGB is an Illuminati instrument and works closely with the CIA.http://www.henrymakow.com/russia-today-is-illuminati-proxy.html

According to a report in the Arab newspaper Al Quds, representatives of the Israeli government are said to be in Syria and working closely with anti-government rebels there for two important purposes – securing the Golan Heights, an area controlled by Israel since 1967 and desired by Syria, and conducting a search for the burial site of executed Israeli spy Eli Cohen.

Assange is definitely a tool of the establishment, that's why he always gets coverage from corporate media. They need him to sell peace wars to Obama Democrats (Canadian Liberals and NDP hypocrites lap it up too) and after his work on Libya it makes sense that he would again be used on Syria.Don't forget the Hollywood scum and Canada's finest celebrity leftists, all doing fine work selling a peace war on Syria.

RT, same thing as stated at 7:44.But then again so are presstv and Henry Makow IMO. Hard to find any site these days of any consequence that isn't in on the game.The smaller boutique sites like this one are so much better.......so that makes me wonder if they are honey pots. I will keep taking my chances here though.

There may be some truth to the rankings presented here, but a lot is suspect. As an example, the remarkable rise in Singapore's ranking is suspect. Based on my experience, the 1988 and 2013 rankings ought to be reversed. In 1988 Singapore was a strong nation with a clear identity and was a decent place to live. Since that time the government has imposed significant restrictions on how Singaporeans can manage their own retirement monies. Housing costs have risen to crazy heights, there are many new rules and regulations telling people what they can and can't do with their flats, and the government has allowed huge numbers of foreigners into the country making it harder for locals seeking work and educational opportunities. Finally, the government seems to have a preference for placing Malaysian nationals into key policy making positions. If these rankings are based on how quickly a nation can lose a former identity, maybe they are on target. Otherwise, something is wrong here.
